- February 17, 2013, 19:01:03 PMToday proved to be a success for working on MA-Deuce.My little guy squared away the www,with Mr.Clean magic eraser.We also put a fresh coat of paint on the front fender and brake assembly cover.We high gloss blacked the speedo cable holder,nuts,bolts as well as the axle end (outside of fork) and axle nut.Ratman you'd be proud to know Aidan did a fantastic job adding the trim to to fender.I made the corner cuts for him being that tool is just way to sharp for him to be messing with.He did however tap the trim on with the rubber mallet after letting it sit in front of the heater a few minutes.I do this to heat up the adhesive for a better bond.Here's a few pics of progress:

- February 08, 2013, 00:10:11 AMNot really... she had reasonable expectations and worked hard to deal with the expenses... still the wedding is really for the bride and the bride's side picks up most of the tab. Personally, I'd rather use that money as a down payment on a house, but... (Now we know a couple of folks who have actually mortgaged their house to pay for a wedding... that was never gonna happen!)

My girls were industrious..got jobs early and paid for most of their own weddings!!! Guess I lucked out.Total for Sons' weddings... couple of thousand... total for Daughter's Wedding - I'm not going there.
5 formals she wore once... enough for another Drifter... Formal clothing for all the boys... not enough to buy tires. HAIR! - 3 boys - pocket change... 1 GIRL!!!
AND, she did as many sports/activities as the boys - except her's always seemed to cost more and take more of our time!
Nahh... the cost of the three boys doesn't come close to the cost of the girl... If we'd had TWO, I'd likely NOT have a bike... sold my harley to pay for one kid(fresh out of the military), sold my corvette for the second... had good insurance for the rest!
